(CNN) – Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, said "for all the noise and anger directed at us ... nobody has addressed the most important, pressing and immediate question we face: How do we protect our children right now ... in a way that we know works."

At a press event in Washington, LaPierre said U.S. society has left children "utterly defenseless."

A protester interrupted the NRA appearance before reporters with a banner accusing the NRA of killing children. The protester was led out of the room as he shouted anti-NRA slogans.

LaPierre added that violent crime is increasing in the U.S. due to a lack of willing to prosecute such acts.

I actually agree with contracting with the local PD. It makes everything easier, and I think local communities would accept it more easily if it was a cop.

I'm just arguing against the idea that an armed guard who is not a peace officer would be basically useless, especially given the many shootings stopped or prevented by private citizens with a concealed weapon.

If you are going to do it right you would need multiple officers just like they have when you go into a federal building. I don't think one would be much help against someone that is that determined which IMO is what separates school\mass shootings from regular everyday homicides. The person doing the killing most likely doesn't care if they live or die and they will have planned it out and accounted for everything.
